A Bow Kills his Friend-The Old Story

A Boy Kills his Friend-The Old Story
Repeated.-On Saturday afternoon last two
boys named Joseph Spence and John j. Satter-
field, were playing about the store of Mr.. G. F.
Poehlman, on Gorsuch avenue, Waverly, when
Spence took down q cat rifle, which was hanging
on the wall and, pointing it at his friend, told him
to look out or he would shoot. Being we'll &C.
quanted in the store Spence thought the rifle was
not loaded. But he was mistaken. He pulled
the trigger and the ball from the rife went crash
ing into the brain of his friend, inficting wound
which caused his death few hours afterwards.
Satterfeld was IA years old and the son of An
drew Satterfed who lives in Waverly. Spence,
who is Is years of age, was almost crazed with
grief at having carelessy caused the death of his
little friend. Justice PindeIl held an inquest and
the jury rendered verdict that "John j. Satter-
field was killed by bullet wound in the b.ain, in
Aicted by Joseph Spence, but which was the re-
suit of an accident" Spence, who had been ar
rested pending the investigation, was released
after the verdict Of the coroner's jury was made
pupic.

House Burned--Narrow Escape.-A
frame tenant house on the farm of the late Samuel
Blakeley, near Green Spring Junction, Western
Maryland Railroad, was burned to the ground
about IL o'clock on Friday night of last week. The
house was occupied by a laboring man named
Samuel Brown, who, with his wife and five chill
dren, made narrow escape, as the fire had gained
much Roadway before it was discovered. All
their clothing, furniture &C., was destroyed upon
which there was no insurance. The wind was
blowing gale at the time and house that stood
near by was saved by great effort. Mr.. Tobin,
who lives near by, gave the family shelter, and
the people of the neighborhood were very kind to
them in their destitute condition.

Death of an Estimable Lady.--Miss
Miss Emeline Nicholson Kell, daughter of the late
Judge Thomas Kell, died on Saturday last, of
paralysis, at the advanced age of 50 years. Miss
Kell was born at Oak Hall, the old Kell mansion,
on the Philadelphia road, three miles from Balti-
more, which was made historical by being sacked
by the British during the revolutionary war. She
lived there until about two years ago, when, on
account of feeble health, she removed to the resi-
dence of her sister, the widow of the late exGov.
A. W. Bradford. Mrs. Bradford is the only sur
viying child of the late Judge Kell.

Messrs Editors The rector of Trinity Church,
in this place, having been absent on Sunday last,
his duties were taken by the Rev. L. De Lew, d.
D., LII. d. This gentleman is a native of the
Netherlands and a converted Israelite, of whom
there are not a few in the Protestant Episcopal
Church. The scarlet hood, one of which he wore,
is bestowed upon graduates of the University of
Oxford, England, who have taken degree there.
His dignifed, impressive and earnest manner
would indicate that he had not forgotten the state
~ and magnificent services of the temple in which
his forefathers worshpped directed as they were in
every detail by the great God Himself. The Epis-
copa Church justly prides herself that she is broad
enough for the most LIBERAL deep enough for the
most learned; "high" enough for those who esteem
her highly, and Glow" enough for those who take
an opposite view of her, or for the most ignorant,
acting upon the motto, "In essentials, unity /; in
non essentials, liberty in all things, charity"

smiles are simply irresistible. They win every

And Now 1t Is Glover Seed.-Mr. Henry
N. Merryman, a we'll known farmer who lives in
the 8th district, short distance above Merediths
Ford, on the Gunpowder, publishes the following
advertisement in Baltimore paper:
"The public are hereby particularly cautioned
against the negotiation of two promissory notes,
each for the sum of ninety dollars payable to the
order of w. B. Saylor & Co., one in three months
and the other four months from Feb. IA, 1887, and
also against the negotiation of any promssory
notes purporting to be made by the undersigned,
payable to the order of any one, as the same were
fraudulently obtained, and payment thereof will
be refused. HENRY c. MERRYMAN
The above is the outgrowth of "clover-seed"
transaction, and it is evident that Mr.. Merryman
has smeled large sized "mice." We don't know
anything about Saylor & Co. They may be all
right. But we again repeat the advice go often
given in THE UNIoN-Don't sign your name to
any paper presented by an unknown travelling
agent, and you will be on the safe side
Found Mares Nest.-A paper published
at EIkton, Cecil county, says: owe have been in
formed by reliable gentleman that each passen-
ger train on the Philadelphia extension of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad has o car containing
q handsomely furnished bar, at which whisky and
other liquors are sold to passengers and others
who wish to buy them. This is direct and fla
grant violation of the Local Option law now in
force in this county, and will doubtless receive the
attention of the grand jury"
Commenting upon the above the Havre. de- Grace
Republican says "If we are correctly informed,
the dining car, which, we presume, include the
bar above mentioned, was attached only to through
trains, and as they do not stop in Cecil, save at
one station, and only then when tagged, it would
seem that this charge is rather far fetched. When
their County Court is so fully occupied with local
offenders it would seem that the old adage,
'straining at gnat and swallowing camel is
strikingly exemplifed"

opened next Monday, 2lst inst, in house rented
from Mr.. Chas. Lassahn. Mr.. Carvile McCor-

that it has been secured by earnest effort and as
only by this means will it be possible to secure

Bold Horse Thieves.-Mr L. E. Quinan,
who lives on Mr.. John R. Kanes farm, near
Unionville, 18th district, has very fine mare for
which he asks a large sum of money. She is kept
in the stable near the house, the door of which is
secured at night by strong iron bar extending
across it and fastened at one end with heavy
lock. On Thursday night of last week, while Mr..
Quinlan was temporarily absent at a neighbours,
his wife heard some one hammering at the
stable door. She called to them to know what
they were DOING but they paid no attention to her
and continued to hammer at the door. The night
was very dark and heavy rain was falling, but
Mrs Quinlan, being very much frightened, started
for Mr.. Kane's house, some distance off. 1t is
believed the thieves her go away and they
also took their departure. When Mr.. Quinlan re-
turned he found the heavy lock had been very
much battered, but had not been broken open,
and his mare was safe. 1t was scarcely 9 o'clock
when the thieves commenced operations and they
must have known that no one was at home ex-
cept Mrs. Quinlan. They evidently had some
idea also of the value Of the mare that they were
making such bold effort to secure.
Defending the English Sparrow.--Mr.
Frank Sanderson, of the Plains Farm, Sd district
writes as follows to the Baltimore American: az
wish to say word two in defence of these little
birds, as consider them my pets. 1t has been
some five years since large colony of them, some
hundred and more, have taken possession of my
barns, straw and hay ricks, and have yet to find
that they do any serious harm to any crop, and,
on the other hand, much good. They keep my
cabbage fields comparatively free from the moths,
eat up iDnumerable insects and their larvae, and
also many weed seeds-and last, but not least, add
much to the cheerfuness of winter by their ac-
tive movements and their pleasant chirp. Every
evening, whilst feeding the stock, we would see
these little fellows tame to be nearly trodden
upon, searching for their food in the stables and
ricks, and whilst have had much wheat and oats
stored away in the barn in the sheaf, they have
never molested them in the least. Give them
chance, and examine their habits carefully, and
each one, if he is observant, will say, Let them
live. Whilst my latch-string is always out, it is
not free to any that would rob me of my BIRDS"

Didn't Know the Road.-0n Sunday morn
ing last five passenger trains of the Pennsylvania
railroad came from Philadelphia to Baltimore by
the P. W. & B. road and went north by the
Northern Central, following each other closely.
Two of the engineers were not familiar with the
latter road and experienced much difficulty in
getting over it, the curves and grades proving too
much for them. One stalled on the "Pole-cat
curve, about four miles north of Parkton, and the
other at Cross's "Straight-line," where there is
heavy grade and sharp curve. By assisting each
other the engineers managed to overcome the
difficulties and proceeded on their way without
much delay.
